Ayahuasca – A discussion

[Jade]

I personally have yet to do an ayahuasca ceremony. I think if you go into it with a purely open heart, you will be safe. Of course, if you're meant to experience a trip with an ego death, you will still do that. But if you're afraid of any negative influence or anything like that, I'd let that go. Even when the negative entity arranged for Carla to take LSD (non natural substance), the worst that it could do was energize her distortions toward physical exertion, which weakened her health for a while making it harder to do Ra sessions. She was totally able to use the experience in a way to polarize positively, and her subsequent health issues gave Don and Jim a reason to serve her as well.

Anyway, it sounds like you've put a lot of thought/time into this experience and have found a compatible group. I do not think something like ayahuasca as a "lazy man's tool" to enlightenment - from what I've read it's usually a very intense experience. You still have to process to catalyst after the event. It's a way to manually thin the veil, but it's also not an easy thing to go through - it's not like you can just go buy some ayahuasca at the store. So no, not lazy. But I think it invokes the Law of Responsibility, being that you are using this highly advanced tool, that you must be dedicated to integrate/utilize what you learn.

I've done psilocybin before and I'd do it again in a heartbeat!! I'd probably enjoy an ayahuasca ceremony as well, but in that case it's really the trip to Peru that makes my heart sing louder.
